Melanie is returning to play her critically-acclaimed portrayal of Mrs Johnstone in 'Blood Brothers' in a Liverpool homecoming. Following her West End triumph in the production and Laurence Olivier nomination for the role, Melanie will be appearing for two weeks only from 8th - 20th November at the Liverpool Empire.

'Blood Brothers' producer Bill Kenwright said: "The second Melanie walked into my office I knew that she would be a great Mrs J. The reality exceeded the expectation and I instantly felt on her opening night in London that she must play 'Blood Brothers' in Liverpool. It's typical of her that she agreed so instantly to do a two week autumn stint in her home town. She is a real star and a credit to her city."

Speaking of her return to the production, Melanie said: "I had such an incredible time playing the role of Mrs Johnstone in the West End and I am so excited to have the opportunity to play her again in my home town of Liverpool."

Tickets for Melanie's two week run will be on sale from Monday 24th May.
